Rx of septic arthritis with staphylococcus epidermidis?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Is it due to potential for biofilm creation maybe?

As far as I'm aware you go straight to vanc with epidermidis.
Thanks. I couldn't find a good reference for that.
Vanco is Rx for S.epidermidis causing endocarditis or VP shunt infection but not sure whether it is a first line in infectious arthritis due to S.epidermidis.
